Liu Jingxuan grinned: "Xile, I can't make the decision on this matter. Just like you, I have an undying blood feud with the demon thief. I want to personally eliminate the demon thief and settle this grudge. However, I have said this.
No, it has to be decided by a slave, oh, no, it has to be decreed by His Majesty, right?"
Liu Yi frowned and looked at Liu Yu: "So, Jinu, what do you say? Who will you send as the vanguard for this expedition?"
Liu Yu said expressionlessly: "This is our last battle against the demon thieves, and we also want to completely settle the grudges of the past twenty years. Therefore, I will personally lead the troops in this expedition.
.”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar. All the generals showed smiles, except of course Liu Yi. Most of the civil servants showed dissatisfaction. Sima Dewen said in a deep voice: "Liu Che
Rider, you are the pillar of the country, don't move lightly. Now the demon thieves have just been repulsed, and there are still many rebellious parties from Jiangbei to Wu. Even in Jiankang City, there may not be peace. Last time you personally went on an expedition to the south.
Yan, as a result, the demon thieves counterattacked, and Jiankang almost fell. Less than a year has passed since this incident, and you are leaving the capital again?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Even before I went to Nanyan, I used to be stationed in the Beifu Army camp at Jingkou. I didn't spend much time in Jiankang, unless there was a big court meeting, and I am in command this time.
The expedition is still within the borders of the Jin Dynasty. Unlike the last time it was the Northern Expedition, the Huru in the north are now busy with their own internal troubles. The Northern Wei Dynasty fell into the new puppet emperor Tuoba Si after he succeeded to the throne, and the Mobei Rouran Khanate
They had too much time to worry about the rebellion, and Later Qin fell into a protracted war with Hu Xia. Even the troops in the Central Plains were transferred away. They are unable to attack our border counties. The only enemies I want to deal with are demon thieves.
.”
Having said this, Liu Yu paused: "As for the demons of the Tiandao League, Doupeng is dead. Even if the Tiandao League has a successor in a short time, it is impossible to cause a big disturbance in Wudi and Jiankang. Let's talk about the DPRK.
As long as you are here, I will leave enough troops in Jiankang City to ensure that nothing serious happens."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Liu Cheqi, if you take command this time and go on an expedition, how many troops and horses will you need, and which generals or troops will you need to go with you?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "This expedition is the last battle with the demon thieves. Not only must we repel them from Leichi and Zuoli, but we must also completely eliminate the demon thieves and eradicate their lairs in Guangzhou. Now the demon thieves
The thieves have gathered nearly 200,000 thieves in the Leichi area. They have camps spanning hundreds of miles, with camps on both water and land. If they are forced to fight to the death, our army will suffer heavy losses even if it wins. Therefore, I intend to change this time.
This is a military decision on how to fight. I would like to ask the Queen to allow me to keep only the generals."
Sima Dewen's expression changed: "Liu Cheqi, what are you doing? Since it is a military meeting, we should go to your Beifu Army camp to discuss it. We are having a big court meeting today and we need to discuss it..."
Wang Miaoyin suddenly said: "King Langya, we have finished talking about the matters to be discussed at the court meeting. Just now, Wang Shilang has made it clear about our current situation. Everyone has also agreed to completely end the demon thieves through the Western Expedition. Thank you
The heads of the aristocratic families headed by Shangshu and Xi Shangshu have also stated that they are willing to give their full support in this western expedition, so the rest is for Liu Cheqi to negotiate the details of the expedition, what do you think?"
Sima Dewen began to sweat on his head and gritted his teeth: "Empress Wang, Brother Huang..."
Wang Miaoyin's eyes were majestic, and she interrupted Sima Dewen: "Your Majesty and I are of the same mind. What I just said is what Your Majesty thinks. Your Majesty is tired now and doesn't want to delay too much time here. Please give me some advice."
King Langya led the civil servants to retreat first. Any subsequent decisions here will require the full assistance of all ministers. King Langya, you are the head of the clan, and you need to set an example."
Sima Dewen gritted his teeth, saluted unwillingly, turned around and retreated, while Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed Sima Dewen away. The civil servants in the court almost
Only Xu Xian was left standing there. Apparently, he had made an agreement with Liu Yu long ago.
Liu Yu looked back at the many military generals standing on the right half, wearing khaki military attaché uniforms, and said, "Brothers from Jingba, please stay. Those who I called will stay. Others
Everyone go back to camp first and wait for my order. I will put every one of you to use. If you are called, don’t be proud. If you are not called, don’t be discouraged. Stand still for me. Don’t be embarrassed. Well, to suppress evil, you stand over.
.”
Wang Zhene smiled slightly and stood directly next to Xu Xianzhi. Liu Yu then said: "Ah Shou, don't even think about resting this time. Come over."
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "I knew I would be indispensable." As he said this, he quickly walked to the side of Wang Zhene. Wang Zhene consciously took a step to the side and gave up the first position on the left to
Liu Jingxuan stood in that position and winked at Liu Yi proudly.
Liu Yi was still standing in his original position expressionlessly. At this moment, Zhao Yi, Liu Fan, Liu Cui and others had gradually stood behind him, and Zhuge Changmin also hesitated and brought
Two brothers, Zhuge Limin and Zhuge Youmin, stood beside Liu Yi and winked at Meng Huaiyu. Meng Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and seemed to want to walk over, but as soon as he raised his head, his eyes met with Xu Xianzhi's.
When Xu Xianzhi shook his head gently, Meng Huaiyu could only sigh, but still did not move even half a step.
Liu Yu seemed to turn a blind eye to these situations and continued: "Big Shitou, don't you want to see your brother Xiao Shitou? This time I will give you a chance to break through the thunder pool, and you can meet him."
Zhu Lingshi laughed: "Last time in Guanggu, this kid almost tricked me to death. This time I saw him, I had to take care of him." As he said this, he stepped forward and stood next to Wang Zhene.
.
Liu Yu glanced at the earnest-looking Shen family generals and smiled slightly: "Tian Zi, Lin Zi, your Wuxing light soldiers, have they rested enough in the past few months?"
Shen Tianzi slapped his chest suddenly: "I don't want to rest anymore. They all scream and ask me every day when I can go kill monsters and thieves. Brother Jinu, please give me a chance."
Liu Yu nodded: "I won't miss you, go to the left."
Shen Tianzi glared at Wang Zhene proudly, then he and Shen Linzi walked to the left carelessly, deliberately standing far away from Wang Zhene, both of them turned their heads to the other side, without looking at each other.
